Holy Bible ! book divine ! 
Precious treasure ; thou art mine : 
Mine to tell me whence 1 came; 
Mine to tell me what I am; — 



Mine to chide me when I rove, 
Mine to show a Saviour^s love; 
Mine thou art to guide and guard; 
Mine to give a rich reward; — 



Mine to comfort in distress, 
If the Holy Spirit bless ; 
Mine to show, by living faith, 
Man can triumph over death. 

— ^John Burton.

6 CREATION 

CREATION 

Gen. 1. 

1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the 
earth. 

26. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after 
our likeness : and let them have dominion over the fish of 
the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and 
over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth 
upon the earth. 

27. So God created man in his own image, in the image 
of God created he him; male and female created he them. 

31. And God saw everything that he had made, and, be- 
hold, it was very good. 
Psalms 33. 

6. By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; 
and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. 

9. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and 
it stood fast. 
Gen. 5. 

1. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of 
God made he him ; 
Job 33. 

4. The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of 
tl\e Almighty hath given me life. 
Eccl. 3. 

14. I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for- 
ever : nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: 
and God doeth it, that man should fear before him. • 

15. That which h-'ath been is now; and that which is 
to be hath already been ; and God requireth that which is past. 
Deut'. 32. 

4. He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways 
are judgment : a God of truth and without iniquity, just and 
right is he. 
Psalms 8. 

4. What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the 
son of man, that thou visitest him? 

when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the 
12. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for 



CREATION 7 

5. For thou hast made him a little lower than the 
angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor. 

6. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works 
of thy hands ; thou hkst put all things under his feet : 

Neh. 9. 

6. Thou, even thou, art Lord alone; thou hast made 
heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all thieir host, the earth, 
and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, 
and thou preservest them all ; and the host of heaven wor- 
shipeth thee. 
Rev. 4. 

11. Thou art worthy, O Lx)rd, to receive glory and honor 
and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy 
pleasure they are and were created. 
Col. 1. 

16. For by him were all things created, that are in 
heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether 
they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers : 
all things were created by him, and for him : 

17. And he is before all things, and by him all things 
consist. 

Rom. 11. 

?)?>. O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and 
knowledge of God ! how unsearchable are his judgements, 
and his ways past finding out! 

34. For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who 
hath been his counsellor? 

35. Or who hath first' given to him, and it shall be re- 
compensed unto him again? 

Z6. For of him, and through him, and to him, are all 
things : to whom be glory for ever. Amen. 
Mai. 2. 

10 Have we not all one father? hath not one God 
created us? 
Gen. 9. 

6. * * * for in the image of God made he man. 



8 CREATION 

1 Tim. 4. 

4. For every creature of God is good, 
Psalms 8. 

6. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works 
of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: 



THE MIST AND HOW DESTROYED 

Gen. 2. 

1. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and 
all the host of them. 

6. But there went up a mist from the earth, and wa- 
tered the whole face of the ground. 

7. And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the 
ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and 
man became a living soul. 

Isa. 2. 

22. Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils : 
for wherein is he to be accounted of? 
Psalms 146. 

4. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in 
that very day his thoughts perish. 
Psalms 52. 

7. Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; 
but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened 
himself in his wickedness. 
Eccl. 7. 

29. Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man 
upright ; but they have sought out many inventions. 
Isa. 53. 

6. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned 
every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him 
the iniquity of us all. 
Ezek. 28. 

15. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that 
thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 
Psalms 7. 

15. He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the 
ditch which he made. 

16. His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his 
violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate. 
Psalms 9. 

15. The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they 
made : in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. 



10 THE MIST AND HOW DESTROYED 

Rom. 6. 

12. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, 
that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 

13. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of 
unrighteousness unto sin : but yield yourselves unto God, as 
those that are alive from the dead and your members as 
instruments of righteousness unto God. 

16. Know ye not,, that to whom ye yield yourselves 
servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey ; 
whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteous- 
ness? 

23. For the wages of sin is death ; but the gift of God 
is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 
Rom. 8. 

6. For to be carnally minded is death ; but to be spiri- 
tually minded is life and peace. 

7. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God : for 
it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 

13. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die : but if ye 
through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye 
shall live. 

14. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they 
are the sons of God. 

Heb. 2. 

1. Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed 
to the thino's which we have heard, lest at any time we 
should let them slip. 

2. For if the word spoken bv a'leels was steadfast, and 
was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 

3. How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salva- 
tion : which at the first began to be spoken b^^ the Lord, and 
every transgression and disobedience received a just recom- 
pense of reward; 

James 1. 

12. Blessed is the r^an that endureth temptation: for 
when he is tried', he shall receive the crown of life, which the 
Lord hath promised to them that love him. 



THE MIST AND HOW DESTROYED 11 

13. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted 
of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempted 
he any man : 

14. But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away 

of his own hist, and enticed. 

15. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth 
sin : and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 

16. Do not err, my beloved brethren. 

17. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from 
above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with 
whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 

18. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, 
that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures. 

21. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity 
of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted 
word, which is able to save your souls. 

Matt. 13. 

15. For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their 
ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed ; lest 
at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with 
their ears, and should understand with their heart, and 
should be converted, and I should heal them. 

Isa. 59. 

1. Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it 
cannot save ; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear : 

2. But your iniquities have separated between 3^ou and 
3'our God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he 
will not hear. 

1 Cor. 15. 

21. For since by man came death, by man came also 
the resurrection of the dead. 

22. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all 
be made alive. 

26. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 
53. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and 
this mortal must put on immortality. 



12 THE MIST AND HOW DESTROYED 

54. So when this corruptible shall have put on incor 
ruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then 
shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death 
is swallowed up in victory. 
Dan. 4. 

27. Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable 
unto thee, and break off thy sins with righteousness, and 
thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be 
a lengthening of thy tranquility. 
Ezek. 18. 

2. What mean ye that ye use this proverb concerning 
the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, 
and the children's teeth are set on edge? 

3. As I live, saith the Lord God, ye shall not have oc- 
casion any more to use this proverb in Israel. 

4. Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, 
so also the soul of the son is mine : the soul that sinneth, it 
shall die. 

5. But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful 
and right, 

9. Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my 
judgements, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, 
saith the Lord God. 
Ezek. 18. 

27. Again, when the wicked man turneth away from 
his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which 
is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. 

28. Because he considereth and turneth away from all 
his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely 
live, he shall not die. 

29. Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord 
is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are 
not your ways unequal? 

30. Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every 
one according to his wavs, saith the Lord God. Repent and 
turn yourselves from all your transgressions ; so iniquity 
shall not be your ruin. 

31. Cast away from you all your transgressions, where 



THE MIST AND HOW DESTROYED 13 

by ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a 
new spirit; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? 

Z2. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that 
dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and 
live ye. 
Prov. 12. 

28. In the way of righteousness is life; and in the path- 
way thereof there is no death. 
Gal. 6. 

7. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatso- 
ever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 

8. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh 
reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the 
Spirit reap life everlasting. 

Isa. 25. 

8. He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord 
God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke 
of his people shall. he take away from off all the earth: for 
the Lord hath spoken it. 
Psalms 139. 

7. Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither 
shall I flee from thy presence ? 

8. If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there : if I make 
my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 

9. If I take wings of the morning, and dwell in the 
uttermost parts of the sea; 

10. Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right 
hand shall hold me. 

14. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonder- 
fully made ; marvelous are thy works ; and that my soul 
knoweth right well. 

15. My substance was not hid from thee; when I was 
made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of 
the earth. 

16. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unper- 
fect; and in thy book all my members were written, which 
in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none 
of them. 



14 THE MIST AND HOW DESTROYED 

Rom. 8. 

31. What shall we then say to these things? If God be 
for us, who can be against us? 

35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? 
shall tribulation; or distress, or persecution, or famine, or 
nakedness, or peril, or sword? 

2)7. Nay, in all these things we are more than con- 
querors through hint that loved us. 

2>^. ¥ov I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor 
angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor 
things to come, 

39. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall 
be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in 
Christ Jesus our Lord. 
Rom. 11. 

26. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, 
There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn 
away ungodliness from Jacob: 

27. For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall 
take away their sins. 

'^2^. O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and 
knowledge of God ! how unsearchable are his judgments, and 
his ways past finding out ! 
Col. 3. 

2. Set your affection on things above, not on things 
on the earth. 

4. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then 
shall ye also appear with him in glory. 

5. Mortify therefore your members which are upon 
the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil 
concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry : 

7. In the which ye also walked sometime, when ye 
lived in them. 

8. But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, 
malice, blasphemyy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 

9. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off 
the old man with his deeds; 



THE MIST AND HOW DESTROYED 15 

10. And have put on the new man, which is renewed 
in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 

Isa. 1. 

18. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the 
Lord : though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white 
as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as 
wool. 

19. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good 
of the land: 

25. And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely 
purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin : 

26. And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy 
counsellors as at the beginning : afterward thou shalt be 
called. The city of righteousness, the faithful city. 

■ 27. Zion shall be redeemed with judgement, and her con- 
verts with righteousness. 
Psalms 19. 

1. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the 
firmament sheweth his handiwork. 

2. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night 
sheweth knowledge. 

3. There is no speech nor language, where their voice 
is not heard. 

4. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and 
their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a 
tabernacle for the sun. 

5. Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his cham- 
ber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. 

6. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and 
his circuit unto the ends of it : and there is nothing hid from 
the heat thereof. 

7. The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the sonl : 
the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. 

8. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the 
heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening 
the eyes. 



16 THE MIST AND HOW DESTROYED 

9. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever : 
the judgements of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 

10. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than 
much fine gold : sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 

11. Moreover by them is thy servent warned: and in 
keeping of them there is great reward. 

12. Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me 
from secret faults. 

13. Keep back thy servent also from persumptuous sins ; 
let them not have dominion over me : then shall I be up- 
right, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. 

14. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of 
my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and 
my redeemer. 

Psalms 65. 

2. O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh 
come. 
Rev. 3. 

21. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me 
in my throne, even as I also overcame and am set down 
with my Father in his throne. 



17 

SALVATION 

Rom. 13. 

11. And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time 
to awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than 
when we believed. 

12. The night is far spent, the day is at hand : let us 
therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on 
the armour of light. 

II Cor. 6. 

2. (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, 
and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee : behold, 
now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation) 

Titus 2. 

11. For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath 
appeared to all men, 

12. Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly 
lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this 
present world ; 

13. Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious ap- 
pearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 
Matt. 24. 

13. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same 
shall be saved. 

14. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached 
in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall 
the end come. 

Phil. 2. 

12. Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, 
not as in my presence only, but now much more in my ab- 
sence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 

13. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and 
to do of his good pleasure. 

I Tim. 2. 

4. Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto 
the knowledge of the truth. 

5. For there is one God, and one mediator between 
God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 



18 SALVATION 

Lam. 3. 

25. The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to 
the soul that seeketh him. 

26. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly 
wait for the salvation of the Lord. 

27. It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth. 

31. For the Lord will not cast off for ever; 

33. For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the chil- 
dren of men. 
Psalms 18. 

2. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my de- 
liverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my 
buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high, tower. 

4. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods 
of ungodly men made me afraid. 

5. The sorrows^ of hell compassed me about : the snares 
of death prevented me. 

6. In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried 
unto my God : he heard my voice out of his temple, and my 
cry came before him, even into his ears. 

35. Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation : 
and thy right hand hath, holden me up, and thy gentleness 
hath made me great. 

46. The Lord liveth ; and blessed be my rock ; and let 
the God of my salvation be exalted. 

49. Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, 
among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name. 

50. Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth 
mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore. 
Isa. 61. 

10. I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be 
joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments 
of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteous- 
ness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and 
as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. 

11. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the 
garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth ; 
so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring 
forth before all nations. 



SALVATION 19 

Psalms 20. 

6. Now know I that the Lord saveth his annointed; 
he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength 
of his right hand.

my salvation : he is my God, and I will prepare him an habita- 
tion; my father's God, and I will exalt him.

2. Behold God is my Salvation ; I will trust and not be 
afraid; for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song;

tion is from him.

my strength, and my refuge is my God.

shall stand in His holy place?

righteousness from the God of his salvation.

23. Whoso of fereth praise glorif ieth me : and to him 
that ordereth his conversation aright will I show the salva- 
tion of God. 
Psalms 51. 

10. Create in me a clean heart, O God ; and renew a right 
spirit within me. 

12. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and up- 
hold me with thy free spirit. 

13. Then will 1 teach transgressors thy ways ; and sin- 
ners shall be converted unto thee. 

Psalm 68. 

19. Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with 



20 SALVATION 

benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. 

20. He that is our God is the God of salvation; and un- 
to God the Lord belong the issues from death. 
Psalm 70. 

4. Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in 
thee : and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let 
God be magnified. 

Psalms 85. 

7. Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salva- 
tion. 

8. I will hear what God the Lord will speak ; for he will 
speak peace unto his people, and to his saints; but let them 
not turn again unto folly. 

9. Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear them; that 
glory may dwell in our land. 

10. Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness 
and peace have kissed each other. 

11. Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteous- 
ness shall look down from heaven. 

12. Yea, the Lord shall give that which is good; and 
our land shall yield her increase. 

13. Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set 
us in the way of his steps. 

Isaiah 45. 

8. Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies 
pour down righteousness : let the earth open, and let them 
bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up to- 
gether; I the Lord have created it. 

12. 1 have made the earth and created^ man upon it: T, 
even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their 
host have I commanded. 

13. I have raised him up in righteousness and I will 
direct all his ways : he shall build my city, and he shall let 
go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the Lord of 
host. 

16. They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of 
them : they shall go to confusion together that are makers of 
idols. 



SALVATION 21 

17. But Israel be saved in the Lord with an everlasting 
salvation : ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world 
without end. 

19. I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the 
earth : I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain : 
I the Lord speak righteousness ; I declare things that are 
right. 

22. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the 
earth : for I am God, and there is none else. 

23. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my 
mouth in righteousness, and shall not return. That unto me 
every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. 

24. Surely, shall one say, in the Lord have I righteous- 
ness and strength : even to him shall men come ; and all that 
are incensed against him shall be ashamed. 

25. In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be jusitfied, 
and shall glory. 

Psalms 27. 

1. The Lord is my light and my salvation ; whom shall 
I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I 
be afraid? 
Romans 10. 

13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord 
shall be saved. 
Isaiah 46. 

12. Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far 
from righteousness: 

13. I bring near my righteousness ; it shall not be far 
off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salva- 
tioin in Zion for Israel my glorv. 

I Peter 1. 

3. Blessed be the Lord and Father of our Lord Jesus 
Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten 
us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ 
from the dead. 

4. To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and 
that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you. 

5. Who are kept by the power of God through faith un- 
to salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 



22 SALVATION 

9. Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of 
your souls. 

10. Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and 
searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should 
come unto you : 

13. Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, 
and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto 
you at the revelation of Jesus Christ: 

14. As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves ac- 
cording to the\ former lust in your ignorance : 

15. But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye 
holy in all manner of conversation ; 

17. And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of 
persons judgeth according to every mans work, pass the time 
of your sojourning here in fear: 

22. Seeing you have purified your souls in obeying the 
truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, 
see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently : 

23. Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of 
incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth 
forever. 

Rev. 12. 

7. And there was war in heaven : Michael and his angels 
fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his 
angels. 

8. And prevailed not; neither was their place found 
any more in heaven. 

9. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, 
called the Devil, and Satan which deceiveth the whole world : 
he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out 
with him. 

10. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is 
come salvation, and- strength, and the kingdom of our God, 
and the power of his Christ : for the accuser of our brethren 
is cast down, which accused them before our God day and 
night. 

11. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, 
and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their 
lives unto the death. 



23 

THE COMMANDMENTS. 

Ex. 20: 1-17. 

1. And God spake all these words, saying, 

2. I am the Lord thy God which have brought thee out 
of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 

3. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 

4. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or 
any likeness of any thing that is in the heaven above, or that 
is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth : 

5. Thou shalt not bow down thy self to them, nor 
serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visit- 
ing the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the 
third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 

6. And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love 
me, and keep my commandments. 

7. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in 
vain ; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his 
name in vain. 

8. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 

9. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 

10. But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy 
God : in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor 
thy d-aughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy 
cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates : 

11. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, 
the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day : 
wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 

12. Honor thy father and thy mother : that thy days may 
be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. 

13. Thou shalt not kill. 

14. Thou shalt not commit adultery. 

15. Thou shalt not steal. 

16. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neigh- 
bor. 

17. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, tliou shalt 
not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his 
maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy 
neighbour's. 



24 THE COMMANDMENTS 

Deut. 4. 

1. Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes 
and unto the judgements, which I teach you, for to do them, 
that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the 
Lord God of your fathers giveth you. 

2. Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, 
neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the 
commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. 

9. Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, 
lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and 
lest thou depart from thy heart all the days of thy life : but 
teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons ; 

10. Specially the day that thou stoodest before the Lord 
thy God in Horeb, when the Lord said unto me. Gather me the 
people together, and I will make them hear my words, that 
they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon 
the earth, and that they may teach their children. 

23. Take heed unto yourselves lest ye forget the coven- 
ant of the Lord your God, which he made with you and make 
you a graven image, or the likeness of anything, which the 
Lord thy God hath forbidden thee. 

29. But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, 
thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and 
with all thy soul. 

30. When thou art in tribulation, and all these things 
are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to 
the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; 

3L (For the Lord thy God is a merciful God;) he will 
not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the coven- 
ant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. 
Deut. 6. 

L Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and 
the judgements, which the Lord your God commanded to teach 
you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to 
possess it: 

2. That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all 
his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, 
thou, and thy son and thy son's son, all the days of thy Uf^; 
and that thy days may be prolonged. 



THE COMMANDMENTS 25 

3. Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it ; that 
it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, 
as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the 
land that floweth with milk and honey. 

4. Hear, O Israel : The Lord our God is one Lord : 

5. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine 
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 

6. And these words, which I command thee this da}^, 
shall be in thine heart: 

7. And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, 
the sight of the Lord : that it may be well with thee, and that 
when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, 
and when thou risest up. 

8. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, 
and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 

9. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy 
house, and on thy gates. 

10. And it shall be, when the Lord thy God shall have 
brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, 
to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and 
goodly cities, which thou buildest not, 

11. And houses full of all good things, which thou 
filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vine- 
yards and olive tress, which thou plantedst not; when thou 
shalt have eaten and be full ; 

12. Then beware lest thou forget the Lord, which brought 
thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bond- 
age. 

17. Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the 
Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which 
he hath commanded thee. 

18. And thou shalt do that which is right and good in 
and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and 
thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the Lord 
sware unto thy fathers, 

24. And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, 
to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that he 
might preserve us alive, as it is at this day. 

25. And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to 



26 THE COMMANDMENTS 

do all these commandments before the Lord our God, as he 
hath commanded us. 
Jer. 32. 

17. Ah Lord God ! behold, thou hast made the heaven 
and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and 
there is nothing too hard for thee: 

18. Thou shewest loving kindness unto thousands, and 
recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of 
their children after them : the Great, the Mighty God, the 
Lord of hosts , is his name. 

19. Great in counsel, and mighty in work : for thine 
eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men : to give 
every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit 
of his doings : 

20. Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of 
Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men ; 
and hast made thee a name, as at this day. 

27. Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh : is there 
any thing too hard for me? 

38. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God : 

39. And I will give them one heart, and one way, that 
they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their 
children after them: 

40. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, 
that I will not turn away from them, to do them good ; but I 
will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart 
from me. 

41. Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and 
I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart 
and my whole soul. 

Psalms 119. 

72). Thy hands have made me and fashioned me : give 
me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. 

98. Thou through thy commandments hast made me 
wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 

172. My tongue shall speak of thy word : for all thy com- 
mandments are righteousness. 



THE COMMANDMENTS 27 

Lev.26. 

3. If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my command- 
ments, and do them; 

4. Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land 
shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield 
their fruit. 

5. And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and 
the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time : and ye shall 
eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. 

6. And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie 
down, and none shall make you afraid : and I will rid evil 
beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through 
your land. 

12. And I will walk among you, and will be your God, 
and ye shall be my people. 

r. John : 3. 

22. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because 
we keep his commandments and do those things that are 
pleasing in his sight. 

23. And this is his commandment, That we should believe 
on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, 
as he gave us commandment. 

24. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in 
him and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in 
us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. 

11. John. 1 : 

4. I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walk- 
ing in truth, as we have received a commandment from the 
Father. 

5. And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote 
a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from 
the beginning, that we love one another. 

6. And this is love, that we walk after his command- 
ments. This is the commandment. That, as ye have heard 
from the beginning, ye should walk in it. 



28 

GOD'S LAW 

I Tim. 1. 

8. But we know that the law is good, if a man use it 
lawfully; 

9. Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous 
man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and 
for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers 
and murderers of mothers, for manslayers. 

10. For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves 
with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured per- 
sons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to 
sound doctrine ; 
I John 3. 

4. Whosoever commiteth sin transgresseth also the law : 
for sin is the transgression of the law. 
James 2. 

8. If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, 
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well : 

9. But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, 
and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 

10. For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet 
offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 

12. So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged 
by the law of liberty. 
Luke 16. 

16. The law and the prophets were until John : since that 
time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth 
into it. 

17. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than 
one tittle of the law to fail. 

Luke 24. 

44. And he said unto them. These are the words which 
I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things 
must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and 
in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me. 
Rom. 10. 

1. Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for 
Israel is, that they might be saved. 



GOD'S LAW 29 

2. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, 
but not according to knowledge. 

3. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and 
going about to establish their own righteousness, have not 
submitted themselves to the righteousness of God. 

4. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness 
to every one that believeth. 

5. For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of 
the law. That the man which doeth those things shall live 
by them. 

John 1. 

17. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and 
truth came by Jesus Christ. 
Matt. 5. 

17. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or 
the prophets : I am not come to destroy but to fulfil. 

18. For verily I say unto you. Till heaven and earth 
pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, 
till all be fulfilled. 

Matt. 7. 

12. Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men 
should do to you, do ye even so to them : for this is the law 
and the prophets. 
Matt. 22. 

35. Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a 
question, tempting him, and saying, 

36. Master, which is the great commanadment in the 
law? 

37. Jesus said unto him. Thou shalt love the Lord thy 
God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all 
thy mind. 

38. This is the first and great commandment. 

39. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy 
neighbour as thyself. 

40. On these two commandments hang all the law and 
the prophets. 

Psalms 119. 

1. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in 
the law of the Lord. 



30 GOD'S LAW 

10. With my whole heart have I sought thee : O let me 
not wander from thy commandments. 
Psalms 119. 

18. Open thou thine eyes, that I may behold wondrous 
things out of thy law. 

40. Behold, I have longed after thy precepts : quicken 
me in thy righteousness. 

44. So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever. 

47. And I will delight myself in thy commandments, 
which I have loved. 

48. My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, 
which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. 

50. This is my comfort in my affliction : for thy word 
hath quickened thee. 

61. The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have 
not forgotten thy law. 

72. The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thou- 
sands of gold and silver. 

142. Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, 
and thy law is the truth. 

165. Great peace have they which love thy law : and 
nothing shall offend them. 
Prov. 3. 

1. My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep 
my commandments : 

2. P'or length of days, and long life, and peace, shall 
they add to thee. 

3. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them 
about thy neck ; write them upon the tables of thine heart : 

4. So shalt thou find favor and good understanding in 
the sight of God and man. 

Prov. 29. 

18. Where there is no vision, the people perish : but he 
that keepeth the law, happy is he. 
Rom. 8. 

1. There is therefore now no condemnation to them 
which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but 
after the Spirit. 



GOD'S LAW 31 

2. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus 
hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 

3. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak 
through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness 
of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh : 

4. That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled 
in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 

Rom. 13. 

8. Owe no man an>; thing, but to love one another : for 
he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 

10. Love worketh no ill, to his neighbour : therefore love 
is the fulfilling of the law. 
Gal. 3. 

21. Is the law then against the promises of God? God 
forbid : for if there had been a law given which could have 
given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. 

22. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that 
the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them 

that believe. 

23. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, 
shut up unto the faith which should afterw^ards be revealed. 

24. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring 
us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 

25. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under 
a schoolmaster. 

26. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ 
Jesus. 

Gal. 5. 

13. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only 
use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve 
one another. 

14. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this ; 
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 

18. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the 
law. 

22. But the fruit of -the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long 
suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 

23. Meekness, temperance : against such there is no law. 



32 GOD'S LAW 

Rom. 7. 

22. I delight in the law of God after the inward man. 

Gal. 6. 

2. Bear ye one another's burdens and so fulfil the law 
of Christ. 



33 

THE WAY 

Psalms 25. 

9. The meek will he guide in judgement: and the meek 
will he teach his way. 
II Chron. 7. 

14. If my people, which are called by my name, shall 
humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn 
from their wicked ways ; then will I hear from heaven, and 
will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 
Psalms 18. 

30. As for God, his way is perfect : the word of the 
Lord is tried : he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. 

31. For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock 
save our God? 

32. It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh 
my way perfect. 

Jer. 6. 

16. Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, 
and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk 
therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. 
Jer. 7. 

23. But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my 
voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people : 
and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that 
it may be well unto you. 
Jer. 50. 

5. They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces 
thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the 
Lord in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten. 

Isa. 30. 

21. And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, say- 
ing, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right 
hand, and when ye turn to the left. 

Isa. 40. 

3. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Pre- 
pare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a 
highway for our God. 

4. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain 



34 THE WAY 

and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made 
straight, and the rough places plain: 

5. And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and 
all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord 
hath spoken it. 
Lam. 3. 

39. Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for 
the punishment of his sins? 

40. Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to 
the Lord. 

4L Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God 
in the heavens. 
Job 22. 

2. Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise 
may be profitable unto himself? 

3. Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art 
righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways 
perfect? 

Prov. n. 

5. The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his 
way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. 
Prov. 3. 

6. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall di- 
rect thy paths. 

23. Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and t\vs 
foot shall not stumble. 
Prov. 16. 

7. When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even 
his enemies to be at peace with him. 

17. The highway of the upright is to depart from evil : 
he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul. 

25. There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but 
the end thereof are the ways of death. 

32. He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; 
and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. 
Psalms 1. 

1. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel 
of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth 
in the seat of the scornful. 



THE WAY 35 

2. But his delight is in the law of the Lord ; and in his 
law doth he meditate day and night. 

3. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of 
water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; hTs leaf 
also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 

4. The ungodly are not so : but are like the chaff which 
the wind driveth away. 

5. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judge- 
ment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 

6. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous : but 
the way of the ungodly shall perish. 

II Sam. 22. 

2)2>. God is my strength and' power : and he maketh my 
way perfect. 
Isa. 26.

right, dost weigh the path of the just. 

John 14. 

1. Let not your heart be troubled : ye believe in God, 
believe also in me. 

4. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 

6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and 
the life : no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 
Psalms 37. 

3. Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell 
in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. 

4. Delight thyself also in the Lord ; and he shall give 
thee the desires of thine heart. 

5. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; 
and he shall bring it to pass. 

6. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the 
light, and thy judgement as the noonday. 

7. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him : fret 
not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, be- 
cause of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. 

n. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall de- 
light themselves in the abundance of peace. 

16. A little that a righteous man hath is better than thq 
riches of many wicked, 



36 THE WAY 

18. The Lord knoweth the days of the upright : and their 
inheritance shall be for ever. 

19. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time : and in 
the days of the famine they shall be satisfied. 

23. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Tord: 
and he delighteth in his way. 

24. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down : 
for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand. 

25. I have been young, and now am old ; yet have I not 
seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. 

26. He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is 
blessed. 

27. Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for ever- 
more. 

29. The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell there- 
in for ever. 

30. The mouth of the righteous speeketh wisdom, and 
his tongue talketh of judgement. 

31. The law of his God is in his heart; none of his 
steps shall slide. 

34. Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall 
exalt thee to inherit the land : when the wicked are cut off, 
thou shalt see it. 

Z7. Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright : for 
the end of that man is peace. 

39. But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord : 
he is their strength in the time of trouble. 

40. And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them : he 
shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because 
they trust in him. 

Psalms 119. 

1. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in 
the law of the Lord. 

2. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that 
seek him with the whole heart. 

3. They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. 

4. Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts 
diligently. 

5. O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes ! 



THE WAY 37 

6. Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect 
unto all thy commandments. 

7. I will praise thee with righteousness of heart, when 
[ shall have learned thy righteous judgements. 

27. Make me to understand the ways of thy precepts : 
30 shall I talk of thy wondrous works. 

29. Remove from me the way of lying : and grant me 
thy law graciously. 

30. I have chosen the way of truth : thy judgements have 
[ laid before me. 

32. I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou 
shalt enlarge my heart. 

2>2>. Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes ; and I 
shall keep it unto the end. 

59. I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy 
testimonies. 

128. Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all 
things to be right; and I hate every false way. 
^cts 2. 

28. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life ; 
thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. 
Deut. 5.

God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may 
be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the 
land which ye shall possess. 

Psalms 86. 

n. Teach me thy way O Lord: I will walk in thy 
truth : unite my heart to fear thy name. 
Psalms 32. 

8. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which 
thou shalt go : I will guide thee with mine eyes.

the paths of judgement: 

21. That I may cause those that love me to inherit 
substance: and I will fill their treasures. 

Psalms 143. 

8. Cause me to hear thy loving kindness in the morn- 



38 THE WAY 

ing ; for in thee do I trust : cause me to know the way where- 
in I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. 

10. Teach me to do thy will ; for thou art my God : thy 
spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. 
Micah. 4. 

1. But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the 
mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in 
the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the 
hills ; and people shall flow unto it. 

2. And many nations shall come and say, Come, and 
let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of 
the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we 
will walk in his paths : for the law shall go forth of Zion, and 
the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. 

3. And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke 
strong nations afar off ; and they shall beat their swords into 
plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks : nation shall 
not lift up sword against nation,neither shall they learn war 
any more. 

4. But they shall sit every man under his vine and 
under his fig tree ; and none shall make them afraid : for the 
mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it, 

5. For all people will walk every one in the name of 
his god, and we will walk in the name of the Lord our God 
for ever and ever. 

Isa. 48. 

16. Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not 
spoken in secret from the begnining; from the time that it 
was, there am I : and now the Lord God and his Spirit hath 
sent me. 

17. Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One 
of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to pro- 
fit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. 

18. O that thou hadst hearkened to my command- 
ments ! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteous- 
ness as the waves of the sea : 

Isa. 35. 

1. The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad 
for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as a rose. 



THE WAY 39 

2. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with 
joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto 
it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the 
glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God. 

3. Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the 
feeble knees. 

4. Say to them that are of a fearful heart. Be strong, 
fear not : behold, your God will come with vengeance, even 
God with a recompence ; he will come and save you. 

5. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and 
the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 

6. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the 
tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters 
break out, and streams in the desert. 

7. And the parched ground shall become a pool, and 
the thirsty land springs of water : in the habitation of dra- 
gons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes. 

8. And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it 
shall be called The way of holiness ; the unclean shall not 
pass over it : but it shall be for those : the wayfaring men, 
though fools, shall not err therein. 

9. No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall 
go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed 
shall walk there : 

10. And the ransomed of the Lord shall return; and 
come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads : 
they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing 
shall flee away.

THE POWER OF THOUGHT. 



Matt. IS. ' :^; 

10. And he called the multitude, and said unto them, 
Hear, and understand: 

11. Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a 
man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth 
a man. 

15. Then answered Peter and said unto him. Declare 
unto us this parable. 

17. Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever enter- 
eth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into 
the draught? 

18. But those things which proceed out of the mouth 
come forth from the heart ; and they defile the man. 

19. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, mur- 
ders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphem- 
ies : 

20. These are the things which defile a man : but to eat 
with unwashen hands defileth not a man. 

James 1. 

8. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. 
Psalms 10. 

4. The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, 
will not seek after God : God is not in all his thoughts. 

Psalms 33. 

11. The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the 
thoughts of his heart to all generations. 
Psalms 119. 

113. I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. 
Psalms 139. 

17. How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O 
God ! how great is the sum of them ! 

18. If I should count them, they are more in number 
than the sand : when I awake, I am still with thee. 

23. Search me, O God, and know my heart : try me, and 
know my thoughts. 

24, And see if there be any wicked way in me, and 
lead me in the way everlasting. 



THE POWER OF THOUGHT 41 

Jer. 29. 

11. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, 
saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you 
an expected end. 

Heb. 4. 

12. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and 
sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the di- 
viding asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and 
marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the 
heart. 

13. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest 
in his sight; but all things are naked and opened unto the 
eyes of him with whom we have to do. 

1 Chron. 28. 

9. And thou, Solomon, my son, know thou the God 
of my father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with 
a willing mind : for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and under- 
standeth all the imaginations of the thoughts : if thou seek 
him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he 
will cast thee off for ever. 

Isa. 26. 

3. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is 
stayed on thee : because he trusteth in thee. 

4. Trust ye in the Lord for ever : for in the Lord 
JEHOVAH is everlasting strength. 

Isa. 32. 

17. And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and 
the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. 
Rom. 8. 

6. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spir- 
itually minded is life and peace. 

Matt. 22. 

37. Jesus said unto him. Thou shalt love the Lord thy 
God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all 
thy mind. 
Isa. 55. 

6. Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye 
upon him while he is near: 



42 THE POWER OF THOUGHT 

7. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous 
man his thoughts : and let him return unto the Lord, and he 
will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will 
abundantly pardon. 

8. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are 
my ways your ways, saith the Lord. 

9. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so 
are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than 
your thoughts. 

Prov. 16. 

3. Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts 
shall be established. 

II Cor. 10. 

4. (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, 
but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 

5. Casting down imaginations and every thing that 
exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing 
into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. 
Titus 1. 

15. Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them 
that are defiled and unbelieveing is nothing pure; but even 
their mind and conscience is defiled. 
Phil. 2. 

1. If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any 
comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bow- 
els and mercies, 

2. Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the 
same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 

3. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; 
but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than 
themselves. 

5. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ 
Jesus : 
Rom. 12. 

2. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye 
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove 
what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 
Prov. 23. 

7. For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he : *** 



THE POWER OF THOUGHT , 43 

Ephe. 4. 

22. That ye put off concerning the former conversa- 
tion the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful 
lusts ; 

23. And be renewed in the spirit of your mind ; 

24. And that ye put on the new man, which after God 
is created in righteousness and true holiness. 

Phil. 4. 

7. And the peace of God, which passeth all under- 
standing, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ 
Jesus. 

8. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, what- 
soever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatso- 
ever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever 
things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there 
be any praise, think on these things 



44 

SOUL AND BODY. 

Luke n. 

34. The light of the body is the eye : therefore when 
thine eye is single, thy whole body is full of light; but when 
thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. 

35. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee 
be not darkness. 

36. If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having 
no part dark, the whole shall be full of light as when the 
bright shining of a candle doth give thee light. 
Rom. 6. 

12. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, 
that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 

13. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of 
unrighteousness unto sin :but yield yourselves unto God, as 
those that are alive from the dead, and your members as 
instruments of righteousness unto God. 

Rom. 8. 

10. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because 
of sin ; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 

11. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from 
the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead 
shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwell- 
eth in you. 

22. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and 
travaileth in pain together until now. 

23. And not only they, but ourselves also, which 
have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan 
within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the re- 
demption of our body. 

26. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities : 
for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but 
the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings 
which cannot be uttered. 
Rom. 12. 

1. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of 
God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, ac- 
ceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 

2. And be not conformed to this world: but be 3^e 



SOUL AND BODY 45 

transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove 
what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 

4. For as we have many members in one body, and 
all members have not the same office: 

5. So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and 
every one members one of another. 

I Cor. 6. 

18. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is 
without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth 
against his own body. 

19. What? know ye not that your body is the temple 
of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, 
and ye are not your own? 

20. For ye are bought with a price ; therefore glorify 
God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God*s. 

I Cor. 9. 

26. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, 
not as one that beateth the air : 

27. But I keep under my body, and bring it into sub- 
jection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to 
others, I myself should be a castaway. 

II Cor. 5. 

4. For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being 
burdened : not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed 
upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. 

5. Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing 
is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the 
Spirit. 

6. Therefore we are alwa3^s confident, knowing that, 
whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the 
Lord: 

10. For we must all appear before the judgement seat 
of Christ ; that every one may receive the things done in his 
body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or 
bad. 

Phil. 3. 

20. For our conversation is in heaven ; from whence 
also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 



46 SOUL AND BODY 

21. Who shall change our vile body, that it may be 
fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the work- 
ing whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. 
Ill John. 

1. The elder unto the well beloved Gains, whom I 
love in the truth. 

2. Beloved, I wish above all things that tTiou mayest 
prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 
Psalms 42. 

1. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so 
panteth my soul after thee, O God. 

2. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God : 
when shall I come and appear before God? 

11. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art 
thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet 
praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. 
I Cor. 12. 

12. For as the body is one, and hath many members, 
and all the members of that one body, being many, are one 
body: so also is Christ. 

13. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, 
whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free ; 
and have been all made to drink into one Spirit'. 

14. For the body is not one member, but many. 

18. But now hath God set the members every one of 
them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 

27. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in 
particular. 

28. And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, 
secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then 
gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities, of tongues. 

29. Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? 
are all workers of miracles? 

30. Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with 
tongues? do all interpret? 

31. But covet earnestly the best gifts : and yet shew 
I unto you a more excellent way. 

I Thes. 5. 

23. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; 



SOUL AND BODY 47 

and r pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be 
preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
Ephe. 4. 

4. There is one body, and one spirit, even as ye are 
called in one hope of your calling; 

7. But unto every one of us is given grace according 
to the measure of the gift of Christ. 

12. For the perfecting of the Saints, for the work of 
the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 

13. Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of 
the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto 
the measure of the statue of the fulness of Christ :

IMPORTANCE OF UNDERSTANDING 

Deut. 4. 

5. Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgements, 
even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do 
so in the land whither ye go to possess it. 

6. Keep therefore and do them ; for this is your wisdom 
and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which 
shall hear all these statutes, and say. Surely this nation is 
a wise and understanding people. 

7. For what nation is there so great, who hath God 
so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that 
we call upon him for? 

8. And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes 
and judgements so righteous as all this law, which I set be- 
fore you this day? 

Job 28. 

12. But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the 
place of understanding? 

13. Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it 
found in the land of the living. 

14. The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, 
It is not with me. 

15. It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be 
weighed for the price thereof. 

20. Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the 
place of understanding? 

23. God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth 
the place thereof. 

28. And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, 
that is wisdom ; and to depart from evil is understanding. 

Psalms 49. 

20. Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is 
like the beasts that perish. 

Psalms 119. 

34. Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; 
yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. 

35. Make me to go in the path of thy commandments ; 
for therein do I delight. 



IMPORTANCE OF UNDERSTANDING 49 

44. So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever. 
7Z. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me ; give 
me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. 

104. Through thy precepts I get understanding : therefore 
I hate every false way. 

144. The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting : 
give me understanding, and I shall live. 

152. Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old 
that thou hast founded them forever. 

160. Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one 
of thy righteous judgements endureth for ever. 

Prov. 2. 

1. My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my 
commandments with thee; 

2. So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and 
apply thine heart to understanding. 

3. Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up 
thy voice to understanding; 

4. If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her 
as for hid treasures ; 

5. Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, 
and find the knowledge of God. 

6. For the Lord giveth wisdom : out of his mouth 
Cometh knowledge and understanding. 

7. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous : he 
is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. 

8. He keepeth the paths of judgement, and preserveth 
the way of his saints. 

9. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judge- 
ment, and equity; yea, every good path. 

10. When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowl- 
edge is pleasant unto thy soul; 

11. Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall 
keep thee: 

Prov. 3. 

5. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart ; and lean 
not unto thine own understanding. 

6. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct 
thy paths. 



50 IMPORTANCE OF UNDERSTANDING 

7. Be not wise in thine own eyes : fear the Lord, and 
depart from evil. 

8. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy 
bones. 

9. Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the 
first fruits of all thine increase : 

10. So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy 
presses shall burst out with new wine. 

n. My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; 
neither be weary of his correction : 

12. For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth ; even as a 
father the son in whom he delighteth. 

13. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man 
that getteth understanding. 

14. For the merchandise of it is better than the mer- 
chandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. 

15. She is more precious than rubies : and all the things 
that thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. 

16. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left 
hand riches and honour. 

17. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her 
paths are peace. 

18. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her : 
and happy is every one that retaineth her. 

Prov. 4. 

1. Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and

her, and she shall keep thee.

and with all thy getting get understanding. 

8. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee : she shall 
bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.

9. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: 
a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee. 

10. Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings ; and the 
years of thy life shall be many. 
Prov. 8. 

14. Counsel is mine, and somid wisdom : I am under- 
standing: I have strength. 

15. By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. 

16. By me princes reign, and nobles, even all the judges 
of the earth. 

17. I love them that love me; and those that seek me 
early shall find me. 

18. Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches 
and righteousness. 

19. My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; 
and my revenue than choice silver. 

20. I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of 
the paths of judgement: 

21. That I may cause those that love me to inherit 
substance; and I will fill their treasures. 

Prov. 9. 

6. Forsake the foolish, and live ; and go in the way of 
understanding.

his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, 
let not the rich man glory in his riches :

24. But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he under-

Col. 1. 

9. For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do 
not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be 
filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and 
spiritual understanding. 

10. That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all 
pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in 
the knowledge of God ; 

James 1. 

5. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that 
giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall 
be given him. 

6. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. But he 
that wavereth is like the wave of the sea driven with the 
wind and tossed. 

7. For let not that man think that he shall receive any 
thing of the Lord. 
Jas. 3.

and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus 
Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

as a liar, and as waters that fail? 

19. Therefore thus saith the Lord, If thou return, then 
will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me : and 



GOD THE ONLY HEALER 69 

if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be 
as my mouth : let them return unto thee ; but return not thou 
unto them. 
Jer. 17. 

5. Thus saith the Lord; cursed be the man that trusteth 
in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth 
from the Lord. 

6. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall 
not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched 
places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 

7. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and 
whose hope the Lord is. 

13. O Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall 
be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written 
in the earth, because they have forsaken the Lord, the foun- 
tain of living waters. 

14. Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, 
and I shall be saved : for thou art my praise. 

II Chron. 16. 

7. And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa, king 
of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the 
king of Syria, and not relied on the Lord thy God, therefore 
is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand. 

9. For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout 
the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of 
them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast 
done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have 
wars. 

10. Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in 
a prison house ; for he was in a rage with him because of 
this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same 
time. 

12. And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign 
w^as diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding 
great : yet in his disease he sought not to the Lord, but to 
the physicians. 

13. And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the 
one and fortieth year of his reign. 



70 GOD THE ONLY HEALER 

I Chron. 10. 

13. So Saul died for his transgression which he com- 
mitted against the Lord, even against the word of the Lord, 
which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that 
had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it; 

14. And enquired not of the Lord : 
Hosea 5. 

13. When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his 
wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to King 
Jareb : yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound. 

15. I will go and return to my place, till they acknowl- 
edge their offence, and seek my face : in their affliction they 
will seek me early. 

Psalms 108. 

12. Give us help from trouble : for vain is the help of 
man. 
Psalms 124. 

8. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made 
heaven and earth. 

Deut. 30. 

11. For this commandment which I command thee this 
day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. 

17. But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not 
hear, but shall be drawn away, and worship other gods, and 
serve them ; 

18. I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely 
perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the 
land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. 
Ezek. 47. 

9. And it shall come to pass, that every thing that 
liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, 
shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, 
because these waters shall come thither : for they shall be 
healed ; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh. 

- 12. And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side 
and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf 
shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed : 
it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because 
their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit 



GOD THE ONLY HEALER 71 

thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine. 

Rev. 22. 

1. And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, 
clear as crystal, preceeding out of the throne of God and of 

the Lamb. 

2. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side 
of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve 
manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month : and 
the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

DUTY OF SHEPHERDS 

Ezek. 34. 

1. And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 

2. Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, 
prophesy, and say unto them. Thus saith the Lord God unto 
the shepherds ; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed 
themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks? 

3. Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye 
kill them that are fed : but ye feed not the flock. 

4. The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have 
ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that 
which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which 
was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; 
but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them. 

5. And they were scattered, because there is no shep- 
herd : and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, 
when they were scattered. 

6. My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and 
upon every high hill : yea, my flock was scattered upon all 
the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after 
them. 

9. Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the 
Lord; 

11. For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, 
will both search my sheep, and seek them out. 

12. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that 
he is among his sheep that are scattered ; so will I seek out 
my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they 
have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. 

16. I will seek that which was lost, and will bring again 
that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was 
broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will 
destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judge- 
ment. 

21. Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, 
and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have 
scattered them abroad: 

23. And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he will 



DUTY OF SHEPHERDS 7Z 

feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and 
he shall be their shepherd. 

26. And I will make them and the places round about 
my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down 
in his season ; there shall be showers of blessing. 

27. And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and 
the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in 
their land, and shall know that I am the Lord, when I have 
broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of 
the hand of those that served themselves of them. 

29. And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and 
they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, 
neither bear the shame of the heathen any more. 

30. Thus shall they know that I the Lord their God am 
with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my 
people, saith the Lord God. 

3L And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, 
and I am your God, saith the Lord God. 
Num. 27. 

15. And Moses spake unto the Lord, saying, 

16. Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set 
a man over the congregation. 

17. Which may go out before them and which may go 
in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may 
bring them in ; that the congregation of the Lord be not as 
sheep which have no shepherd. 

Jer. 50. 

6. My people hath been lost sheep : their shepherds 
have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away 
on the mountains ; they have gone from mountain to hill, 
they have forgotten their resting place. 

John 10. 

1. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not 
by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other 
way, the same is a thief and a robber. 

2. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd 
of the sheep. 

7. Then said Jesus unto them again. Verily, verily, I 
say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 



74 DUTY OF SHEPHERDS 

9. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall 
be saved and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 

14. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and 
am known of mine. 

15. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the 
Father : and I lay down my life for the sheep. 

16. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold : 
them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice ; and 
there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 

Psalms 100. 

1. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. 

2. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his 
presence with singing. 

3. Know ye that the Lord he is God : it is he that hath 
made us, and not we ourselves ; we are his people, and the 
sheep of his pasture. 

4. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his 
courts with praise : be thankful unto him, and bless his name 

5. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and 
his truth endureth to all generations. 

Matt. 7. 

20. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 
Gal. 6. 

4. But let every man prove his own work, and then 
shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 
John 13. 

15. For I have given you an example, that ye should do 
as I have done to you. 



75 

FAITH AND WORKS 

Mark 9. 

23. Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things 
are possible to him that believeth. 

Matt 21. 

21. Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto 
you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do 
this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say 
unto this mountain. Be thou removed, and be thou cast into 
the sea; it shall be done. 

22. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, 
believing, ye shall receive. 

Matt. 5. 

16. Let your light so shine before men, that they may 
see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in 
heaven. 

Mark 11. 

24. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye 
desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye 
shall have them. 

25. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have 
ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven 
may forgive your trespasses. 

John 5. 

19. Then answered Jesus and said unto them. Verily, 
verily, I say unto you. The Son can do nothing of himself, 
but what he seeth the Father do : for what things soever he 
doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. 

20. For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him 
all things that himself doeth : and he will shew him greater 
works than these, that ye may marvel. 

21. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quicken- 
eneth them ; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. 
John 10. 

Zl . If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 

38. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the 
works : that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in 
me, and I in him. 



l(i FAITH AND WORKS 

John 14. 

10. Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the 
Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not 
of myself : but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the 
works. 

11. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father 
in me : or else believe me for the very works' sake. 

12. Verily, verily, I say unto you_^ He that believeth on 
me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works 
than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 

13. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will 
I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 

14. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. 

15. If ye love me, keep my commandments. 

16. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you 
another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 

17. Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot 
receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but 
ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 

26. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom 
the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all 
things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever 
I have said unto you. 

John 15. 

7. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye 
shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 

8. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much 
fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 

Acts 3. 

16. And his name through faith in his name hath made 
this man strong, whom you see and know : yea, the faith 
which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the 
presence of you all. 
Acts 14. 

27. And when they were come, and had gathered the 
church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with 
them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the 
Gentiles. 



FAITH AND WORKS 11 

Acts 16. 

5. And so were the churches established in the faith, 
and increased in number daily. 
Rom. 1. 

16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for 

17. For therein is the " righteousness of God revealed 
from faith to faith : as it is written, The just shall live by 
faith. 

Rom. 10. 

13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord 
shall be saved. 

14. How then shall they call on him in whom they 
have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of 
whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without 
a preacher? 

15. And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as 
it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach 
the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things ! 

17. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the 
word of God. 
I Cor. 3. 

13. Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the 
day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and 
the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 

14. If any man's work abide which he hath built there- 
upon, he shall receive a reward. 

15. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer 
loss : but he himself shall be saved ; yet so as by fire. 

Gal. 5. 

5. For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of right- 
eousness by faith. 

6. For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any 
thing, nor uncircumcision ; but faith which worketh by love. 
Ephe. 6. 

14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with 
truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness ; 

15. And your feet shod with the preparation of the 
gospel of peace. 



78 FAITH AND WORKS 

16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye 
shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 

17. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword 
of the Spirit, which is the word of God : 

18. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in 
the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and 
supplication for all saints ; 

23. Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from 
God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 

I Tim. 6. 

12. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal 
life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a 
good profession before many witnesses. 

II Tim. 2. 

15. Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman 
that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word 

of truth. 

Heb. 11. 

2i?>. Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought 

righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of 

lions, 

Jas. 1. 

22. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers 
only, deceiving your own selves. 

25. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, 
and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but 
a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. 

26. If any man among you seem to be religious, and 
bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's 
religion is vain. 

27. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the 
Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their 
affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. 
Jas. 2. 

14. What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say 
he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 

17. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being 
alone. 

18. Yea, a man may say. Thou hast faith, and I have 



FAITH AND WORKS 79 

works : shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew 
thee my faith by my works. 

20. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without 
works is dead? 

26. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith 
without works is dead also. 
Jas. 5. 

15. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and 
the Lord shall raise him up ; and if he have committed sins, 
they shall be forgiven him. 
I John 3. 

18. My little children, let us not love in word, neither 
in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 

19. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and 
shall assure our hearts before him. 

20. For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our 
heart, and knoweth all things. 

21. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we 
confidence toward God. 

22. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because 
we keep his commandments, and do those things that are 
pleasing in his sight. 

23. And this is his commandment. That we should be- 
lieve on the name of his son Jesus Christ, and love one an- 
other, as he gave us commandment. 

24. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in 
him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in 
us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. 

I John 5. 

14. And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, 
if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us : 

15. And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, 
we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 
Matt. 7. 

24. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, 
and doeth them, I will liken him to a wise man, which built 
his house upon a rock: 

25. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and 



80 PAITH AND WORKS 

the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not; 
for it was founded upon a rock. 

26. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, 
and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, 
which built his house upon the sand: 

27. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and 
the winds blew, and beat upon that house ;and it fell : and 
great was the fall of it.

RELIEF FOR THE AFFLICTED 

Psalms 18. 

20. The Lord rewarded me according to my righteous 
ness ; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he 
recompensed me. 

21. For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not 
wickedly departed from my God. 

22. For all his judgments were before me, and I did not 
put away his statutes from me. 

23. I was also upright before him, and I have kept my- 
self from mine iniquity. 

24. Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me accord- 
ing to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my 
hands in his eyesight. 

27. For thou wilt save the afflicted people ; but will 
bring down high looks. 

28. For thou wilt light my candle : the Lord my God 
will enlighten my darkness. 

Psalms 22. 

24. For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction 
of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but 
when he cried unto him, he heard. 

27. All the ends of the world shall remember and turn 
unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall wor- 
snip before thee, 

28. For the kingdom is the Lord's : and he is the gover- 
nor among the nations. 

Psalms 34.

ereth them out of all their troubles.

heart : and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. 

19. Many are the afflictions of the righteous : but the 
Lord deliver eth him out of them all. 

II Sam. 22. 

5. When the waves of death compassed me, the floods 
of ungodly men made me afraid; 

6. The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares 
of death prevented me; 



82 RELIEF FOR THE AFFLICTED 

7. In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried to 
my God : and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my 
cry did enter into his ears. 
II Chron. 2>2>. 

12. And when he was in affliction, he besought the Lord 
his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his 
fathers, 

13. And prayed unto him : and he was intreated of him, 
and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jeru- 
salem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord 
he was God. 

Isa. 48. 

10. Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I 
have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. 
Isa. 49. 

13. Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break 
forth into singing, O mountains : for the Lord hath comfort- 
ed his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted. 

14. But Zion said. The Lord hath forsaken me, and my 
Lord hath forgotten me. 

15. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she 
should not have compassion on the son ^f her womb? yea. 
they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. 

Jas. 5. 

13. Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any 
merry? let him sing psalms. 

14. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders 
of the church ; and let them pray over him, anointing him 
with oil in the name of the Lord : 

15. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the 
Lord shall raise him up ; and if he have committed sins, they 
shall be forgiven him. 

16. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one 
for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent 
prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 

19. Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and 
one convert him; 

20. Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner 



RELIEF FOR THE AFFLICTED 83 

from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and 
shall hide a multitude of sins. 

II Cor. 4. 

17. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, 
worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory ; 

18. While we look not at the things which are seen, but 
at the things which are not seen : for the things which are seen 
are temporal ; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 

Psalms 107. 

8. Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, 
and for his wonderful works to the children of men !

hungry soul with goodness. 

10. Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, 
being bound in affliction and iron ; 

11. Because they rebelled against the words of God, and 
contemned the counsel of the most High :

they fell down, and there was none to help. 

13. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and 
he saved them out of their distresses.

death, and brake their bands in sunder.

saveth them out of their distresses.

thee, O thou son of God? art thou come unto me to call my

took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, 
where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed. 

22. And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the

thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, 
Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 

42. And I knew that thou hearest me always : but be- 
cause of the people which stand by I said it, that they may 
believe that thou hast sent me.

theless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be 
so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so. 

11. And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, 
that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of 
fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by 
a whirlwind inta heaven. 

12. And Elisha saw it, and he cried. My father, my 
father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And 
he saw him no more : and he took hold of his own clothes, 
and rent them in two pieces. 

13. He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from 
him and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan ; 

14. And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him 
and smote the waters, and said. Where is the Lord God of 
Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted 
hither and thither: and Elisha went over. 

Matt. 27. 

1. When the morning was come, all the chief priests 
and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him 
to death: 

2. And when they had bound him, they led him away, 
and delivered him to Pontitis Pilate the governor. 

22. Pilate saith unto them. What shall I do then with

angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and canie and 
rolled' back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 

5. And the angel answered and said unto the woman, 
fear not ye : for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was 
crucified. 

6. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, 
see the place where the Lord lay. 

7. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen 
from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; 
thoro shall ye see him : lo, I have told you. 

8. And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with 
fear and great jo}^; and did run to bring his disciples word. 

9. And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus 
met them, saying. All hail. And they came and held him by 
the feet, and worshipped him. 

10. Then said Jesus unto them. Be not afraid: go tell 
my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they 
see me.

into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

doubted.

power is given unto mc in heaven and in earth.

one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Mas- 
ter, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? 

18. And Jesus said unto him. Why callest thou me good? 
there is none good but one, that is God. 

19. Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit 
adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, 
Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. 

20. And he answered and said unto him. Master, all 
these have I observed from my youth. 

21. Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto

heaven : and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

I John 3. 

1. Behold, what manner of love th'b Father hath 
bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God :

not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he 
shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as 
he is.

himself, even as he is pure.

Matt. 5. 

1. And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a moun-

2. And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying. 

3. Blessed are the poor in spirit; for their's is the 
kingdom of heaven. 

4. Blessed are they that mourn : for they shall be com- 
forted. 

5. Blessed are the meek : for they shall inherit the earth. 

6. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after 
righteousness : for they shall be filled. 

7. Blessed are the merciful : for they shall obtain mercy. 

8. Blessed are the pure in heart : for they shall see God. 

9. Blessed are the peacemakers : for they shall be called 
the children of God. 

10. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteous- 
ness* sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 

11. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and per- 
secute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you 
falsely, for my sake. 

12. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your 
reward in heaven : for so persecuted they the prophets which 
were before you. 

20. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness 
shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, 
ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. 

48. Be ye therefore perfect, even as your father which 
is in heaven is perfect. 
I Cor. 13. 

9. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 

10. But when that which is perfect is come, then that 
which is in part shall be done away. 

12. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then 
face to face : now I know in part ; but then shall I know 
even as also I am known.

Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared 
for you from the foundation of the world:

27. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness 
of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the 
people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an 
everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey 
him. 
Rom. 14.

righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

27. All the ends of the world shall remember and turn

ernor among the nations.

wonders ! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his 
dominion is from generation to generation.

spin not ; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his 
glory was not arrayed like one of these. 



124 THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN 

28. If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day 
in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much 
more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? 

29. And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall 
drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 

30. For all these things do the nations of the world seek 
after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these 
things. 

31. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all 
these things shall be added unto you. 

32. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good 
pleasure to give you the kingdom. 

Psalms 145. 

10. All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy 
saints shall bless thee. 

11. They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and 
talk of thy power; 

12. To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, 
and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. 

13. Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy 
dominion endureth throughout all generations. 

I Cor. 4. 

20. For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto 
the measure of the statue of the fulness of Christ :

ten therein: for the time is at hand. 
Rev. 4. 

1. After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened 
in heaven : and the first voice which I heard was as it were 
a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither; and 
I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. 

2. And immediately I was in the spirit : and, behold, a 
throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. 

Rev. 14. 

1. And I looked, and, lo, a lamb stood on the mount 
Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, hav- 
ing his Father's name written in their foreheads. 

2. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of 
many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder : and I 
heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps : 

3. And they sung as it were a new song before the 
throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders : and no 
man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four 
thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. 

5. And in their mouth was found no guile : for they are 
without fault before the throne of God. 

6. And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, 
having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell 
on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, 
and people, 

7. Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to 
him; for the hour of his judgement is come; and worship him 
that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains 
of waters. 

12. Here is the patience of the saints : here are they that 
keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. 

13. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, 
Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from hence- 
forth : Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their 
labors ; and their works do follow them. 

Rev. 11. 

15. And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great 
voices in heaven, crying. The kingdoms of this world are be- 



126 THE KINGDOM QF HEAVEN 

come the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he 
shall reign for ever and ever. 
Rev. 15. 

2. And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire : 
and them that had gotten the victory over the beasts, and over 
his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his 
name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. 

3. And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, 
and the song of the Lamb, saying. Great and marvellous are 
thy works. Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, 
thou King of saints. 

4. Who shall not' fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy 
name? for thou only art holyt for all nations shall come and 
worship before thee ; for thy judgements are made manifest.

Psalms 150. 

1. Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary : 
praise him in the firmament of his power. 

2. Praise him for his mighty acts : praise him according 
to his excellent greatness. 

3. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet : praise 
him with the psaltery and harp. 

4. Praise him with the timbrel and dance : praise him 
with stringed instruments and organs. 

5. Praise him upon the loud cymbals : praise him upon 
the loud sounding cymbals. 

6. Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. 
Praise ye the Lord. 

Rom. 16. 

25. Now to him that is of power to stablish you accord 
ing to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, accord- 
ing to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret 
since the world began. 

26. But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures 
of the prophets, according to the commandment of the ever- 
lasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of 
faith : 

27. To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ 
for ever. Amen.
